Thread: have to be just like that.

It is true that gun owners and enthusiasts can be quite meticulous when it comes to their firearms, and this can be seen as fussiness to some. However, there are a few reasons why this may be the case.

Firstly, firearms are precision instruments that require proper maintenance and care to function reliably and safely. Therefore, gun owners may place a high level of importance on keeping their firearms in excellent condition and may pay close attention to every detail of their gun's performance.

Secondly, firearms can be a significant investment, both in terms of monetary value and personal attachment. Therefore, gun owners may be more particular about the performance and appearance of their firearms.

Lastly, the culture surrounding firearms can also contribute to the fussiness of gun owners. Shooting and collecting firearms can be seen as a hobby or lifestyle, and like any hobby, enthusiasts may have particular preferences or standards that they adhere to.

That being said, not all gun owners are fussier than others, and it's important to remember that everyone has their own unique personality and interests. Some gun owners may be more particular than others, but this doesn't necessarily mean that they are fussier than individuals in other hobbies or industries.

^ what he said.
I would have said a directed explosion, rather than controlled. Same sentiment.

I'm in the same trade as you Snap 4T. I find that enthusiasts are all like that regardless of the object of their passion. A cheap used rifle & a mint condition-Sako etc still kill an animal but I know what one I'd rather be using.
Firearms owners usually know the value of the work they're paying for but expect the quality to match, whereas most customers can't appreciate the cost involved in a "quick" 3 hour job when you've got a few $M in workshop equipment and materials.
I have learnt over the years when the customer wants me to produce a work of art and when they just want quick & dirty, Sometimes their cost expectations don't align with what they want/need though.

Triple constraint: you can have 2, but cannot have all 3:
Cheap
Fast
Good

Hunting and shooting isn’t a “hobby” for some of us, so we expect 110%. Would you be happy with Surgeon doing an 80% job?

I got an 80% surgeon back in the 70's.

You cant take them to the disputes tribunal, or the courts, unlike a gunsmith.
